New species of rust-eating bacteria destroying Titanic: a new old parable.
Jesus said it clearly: heavenly treasures last, earthly ones don't. Rust and moths, thieves and rot, mildew and simple loss, join to make the "things" we treasure rather fragile and vulnerable.
We easily take it for granted that shipwrecks just tend to stay down there, waiting for us to explore them at our leisure. Not so. The old wisdom is repeated by some of the newest studies. Rust forms, and a specially recognized bacterium eats rust!
All that we see is passing. Really is. As the old saying put it, only what's done for/with Christ will last.
And that is worth thinking about when you set up your plan, isn't it?
